Hey Massmom, just caught up with your grow, looks great! Happy birthday!!!
I'm in Western MA and using autopots and autocobs as well. Just finished my first successful grow and was it ever a success, harvested a pound off four plants. One plant was a half pound by itself, this system really does work if you get it dialed in! Links to my grow show and setup thread are in my sig. I managed to kill a batch before I had a successful run and I'll warn you now that first batch I used a coco brick instead of the pre-expanded stuff and that i think was a part of the problem. Those bricks you need to expand them, rinse them, and maybe soak it in pH'ed water, 'charge' them with Cal-Mag, and a bunch of stuff that is already taken care of with the premium bagged coco. To be fair I also screwed up the chemistry and wasn't ph'ing properly so it was a lot my fault, but I still blame the brick!!!!
See you around and keep up the good work! You've got one lucky daughter!
